最近谍照记者在西班牙拍到了正在进行炎热天气测试的下一代保时捷卡宴。与先前看到的测试车一样，这辆车也大量采用了现行版的外装以掩盖新一代车型的设计。前大灯明显是临时装上去的，仔细看就会发现边缘有很大的缝隙，这进一步掩盖了真实的造型。车尾也增加了一层盖板以掩盖尾灯组真实模压，排气尾管也是临时拼凑的。不过，车顶的主动后扰流器看起来像是最终量产版的。至于内装，先前的谍照显示，内部设计类似第二代Panamera。中控台同样采用了电容按键，更大的显示屏，仪表板采用数字仪表群和模拟转速表。新一代卡宴采用MLB平台，重量将降低200磅（约合91公斤）。该车动力系统包括取自Panamera的2.9升V6双涡轮，功率324千瓦/434马力和4.0升V8双涡轮，功率404千瓦/542马力。另外还有柴油和插电混动版本。新一代卡宴将作为2018款车型在明年的法兰克福车展亮相。

 

2018 Porsche Cayenne spy shots

The next-generation Porsche Cayenne has entered a new phase of testing, and the luxury has now started hot-weather testing in Spain. The new venue has given us another chance to spy the upcoming model.

 

As in earlier photos, this Cayenne still wears a lot of parts from the current model, which does a great job of hiding the next-gen design. The headlights here aren’t final pieces because if you look close, you can spot the cladding around them, which keep the real shape hidden. Porsche also bolts a panel across the back to keep the taillights a secret, and the finished exhausts also aren’t present. The active spoiler on the roof is likely a production part, though, and previous pictures offer another look at it.

 

Inside, spy shots already reveal that the next Cayenne borrows liberally from the recently revealed second-gen Panamera. Like the sedan, the SUV has capacitive buttons on the console, a large center screen, and digital displays flanking an analog tachometer in the instrument panel.

 

The Cayenne switches to the MLB platform, which the latest Audi Q7 also uses. The move reportedly helps save over 200 pounds in comparison the current one. The SUV's powertrain range likely includes the Panamera's biturbo 2.9-liter V6 with 434 horsepower (324 kilowatts) and the biturbo 4.0-liter V8 with 542 hp (404 kW). In addition, a diesel and plug-in hybrid could join the lineup eventually.

 

The redesigned Porsche Cayenne likely goes on sale in late 2017 as a 2018 model year vehicle. Look for a possible debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show next year.
